TAX POLICY – PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX NEEDED

“The rich are always going to say ‘trickle down works’, you know, just give us more MONEY and we’ll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But trickle down has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.”

— Warren Buffett

 “I believe that there should be a very much heavier progressive tax on very large incomes, a tax which should increase in a very marked fashion for the gigantic incomes.”

 — President Theodore Roosevelt (R)

“Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometric progression as they rise.”

 — President Thomas Jefferson  – 91% over $5OO,OOO like ElSENHOWER (R) on Excessive FRAUD!

0% TAX on first $1,333,333 ($20,000 in l913) – 2012 Dollars

Translation of First Tax Rate Table into Today’s Numbers Using Reagan’s Mid-term Top Rate of 50%  and  2012 Average Income of $5O,OOO   

      1. 0% TAX on first $1,333,333
      2. 8.3%  on next $2,000,000
      3. 16.7%  on next $1,666,667
      4. 25.0%  on next $1,666,667
      5. 33.3%  on next $10,000,000
      6. 41.7%  on next $16,666,667
      7. 50.0%  on anything over $33,333,333  

91% TOP TAX RATE ON HIGH INCOMES UNDER PRESIDENT EISENHOWER (R)

 “Super Rich solidifies absolute P0WER over our political system…That Supreme Court decision legalized political bribery. Now, billions pass through LOBBYlSTS to politicians with one goal: A promise that politicians vote for their special lnte’rests. Our middle class is in a rapid trickle-down into third-WORLD status. The inequality gap steadily widens… Democracy is systemically CORRUPT by MONEY.”— Paul Farrell, Market Watch
